Chapter 631: If There Is Love at First Sight in the World
"The previous client?"
Lei Na eyed him suspiciously, glancing up and down at the person before her, who wore a black robe, a mask, and had a voice as unpleasant as a male duck's quack.
Someone like this could be my former employer? Bullshit!
Lei Na didn't believe it at all.
"Who the hell are you! Don't make me say it again!"
Imposters run rampant, abnormalities everywhere; this isn't a safe zone like the inner district, and if you don't want to die, you need to be more vigilant.
"My client doesn't have a duck voice!"
Jie:???
"Why are you still cursing people?"
"You! Who the hell are you!!!"
Seeing Lei Na about to lose her temper, Jie hurriedly waved his hands and recited all of Lei Na's information as if counting his treasures.
"Your full name is Eleanor Lei Na, you live in District 09, you're 21 this year, your parents are deceased, your birthday is July 21, you love pears and barbecue, your favorite color is orange-yellow, and your favorite animal is...."
"You fucking stop!"
Such a recount didn't clear his suspicion; instead, it made Lei Na more wary, her gaze shifting from looking at some clueless abnormality to that of a stalker who'd been following her for a while.
"If you're here to fuck me, forget it—I don't sell my body."
Jie:???
Don't redeem this! Don't redeem!
Things shouldn't have turned out like this!
But... the feeling of her scolding is really nostalgic, exactly this taste! So right!
"Don't be like that, Lei Na; I can only want to help you."
"I don't sell my body! Do you not understand? Fuck!"
Jie was hit in the face by a shoe, then Lei Na gave him a beating; he could only cover his head and run all over the ground.
"I'm leaving! I really just came to see you!"
"Hey! Don't kick there!"
Finally, Jie had no choice but to drop his wallet and run away in embarrassment.
Lei Na watched his lightning-fast speed and was instantly stunned.
This person... is so weird, yet so familiar....
It's like... uh... indescribable, that feeling she can't put into words.
"Hey? This old thief is surprisingly rich."
Lei Na looked left and right, then finally reached out toward that sinful wallet.
"......"
"Sigh, forget it; I don't lack this either."
"Oi! You over there! Are you Lei Na?"
Zhang Jie suddenly appeared and let out a shout; Lei Na jumped up like a fur-stand-on-end cat, glaring fiercely at Zhang Jie.
"Who are you again?!"
But upon seeing Zhang Jie's face, Lei Na suddenly froze, as if she had seen something extraordinary.
"This man... has... such great presence! So confident!"
If love at first sight truly existed in this world, Lei Na felt she had already fallen in love.
This place is filled with people whose mental states are utterly abstract, everywhere numbed by drugs and virtual reality.
Lei Na had never seen anyone so normal, so spirited, so imbued with a sense of "order."
Unimpressed by Lei Na's daze, Zhang Jie became even more arrogant this time—at least more arrogant than that mysterious guy Jie, and also more proper.
"I am Zhang Jie, elite guard of the Anomaly Bureau Investigation Department."
"Come with me."
As he spoke, he flashed his credentials; the gilt lettering and the faint supernatural power emanating from the badge's core made her startle.
"Elite... guard? You're really an elite guard?"
Zhang Jie raised his brow; a fourth-level will pressed down like a mountain, making her breathless.
"Now do you believe me?"
Lei Na felt numb—what the hell is going on today? Did she not check the almanac before leaving? Why does she keep running into all these weirdos?
First a duck-voiced guy, then this... cough, this handsome man; Lei Na thinks today is truly a fantastical day.
"You... what do you want now!"
"I said, come with me."
Zhang Jie, unlike the timid Jie, grabbed Lei Na's collar with one hand and headed toward the waiting car behind him.
Not far off, Jie returned, wanting to see if Lei Na had taken his wallet, but the next moment he witnessed this scene.
"Whoa!"
The car kicked up dust, making him gulp exhaust, but it couldn't hide his shocked expression.
"Why?"
"This timeline's gone totally off the rails, bro—really, everything's deviated from the original track, everything's completely different."
"......"
"So does this mean I... succeeded?"
He shook his head, stopped thinking about it—there's still plenty to do in this world; he needs to lay his plans, bury everyone in his chessboard!
On the other side, Zhang Jie had already taken Lei Na onto the road back to the Abnormal Bureau.
Zhang Jie didn't intend to do anything to her; if what that mysterious person said was true, he would fall in love with Lei Na and treat her as the most important person.
Then he wanted to see what exactly was special about this girl!
"Hmm... the first impression she gives is that she is very vigilant and full of spirit."
Zhang Jie thought about it, but he didn't feel there was anything else particularly special about it.
How strange... I miss Qi Yu; I don't know what this guy is up to.
Ding-dong!
Qi Yu seemed to know Zhang Jie was thinking of her, and in the next moment she sent a message; Zhang Jie curiously checked it, but in the next moment he almost fell over.
"Master! I have woven a whole box of underwear for you!"
"Look! It's pure silk! I wove it myself!"
"Why did you make me weave so much underwear?!"
"Master, I want you to wear the underwear as disposable!"
Hehe, actually I just want to be able to take off the underwear you wear each day.
All I can say is that this is really perverted...
"Master, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I picked up a girl and am preparing to investigate."
"Investigate?"
Qi Yu's expression froze, and a homophone from the internet flashed through her mind—'investigate'... that basically means!
"Master... you're not being good..."
"Master! You go ahead and be busy; I'm going to get busy too!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Jie chatted, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, and without realizing it, that little fellow, like a sniveling worm, had become his new family.
Hmm, not bad! Keep working hard! Clear your name as soon as possible!
"Lai Te, don't go to the Abnormal Bureau; take her to buy some clothes."
"He's dressed in rags; don't think I'm here to kidnap a child."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang Jie."
(I'm a bit busy! So I'm late—May Day is coming up, wishing all you godfathers a happy May Day!)
